Lakeview Beach, Public beach in Butler County, Pennsylvania
Lakeview Beach is a public sandy area along Lake Arthur's shoreline with designated swimming zones and native plants framing its edges. The beach features varied sections suitable for swimming, relaxation, and water activities throughout the season.
The beach developed after Lake Arthur was created in the 1960s, becoming a key recreation spot for the region. This transformation gave Butler County a new waterfront destination for families and visitors.
The beach serves as a gathering place for local families during summer months, where residents organize informal picnics and water activities that bring the community together.
Lifeguard coverage operates during summer peak season from late May through early September, with regular water quality checks throughout this period. Visitors should check current conditions before arriving to confirm accessibility and safe swimming areas.
On selected dates during the year, anglers can fish at night when the beach stays open past sunset for seasonal smelt runs. This occasional activity draws those interested in experiencing this natural seasonal occurrence.
